As a person with a B.S. in Computer forensics, I suggest working as help desk or apply for local law enforcement while studying. "Entry level" is rare unless you can network the crap out of yourself in the industry. This is where I have struggled the most regardless of my knowledge base. Not saying its impossible but a lot harder if you just want to jump into it. I'm a bit jaded at this point. In steps I would recommend 1) Cyber degree or cert. 2) Experience (helpdesk, internship, law enforcement). 3) Digital forensics 2 years out of school and yet to land that spot. Currently scrambling to rework my approach.

Im on my final semester for my cyber security digital forensics masters degree. The has been a fun degree to get. Data recovery and mining. Learning about the law. Some really cool things and tech to use.

@corrinehuffman784 the university of Alabama at Birmingham. It was a hybrid course path% some online and some in class.

Great video. I don't think Cyber Security and Digital Forensics are the same though, certainly not in the UK. Your explanations of DF is spot on. The way I see it, like any forensics. Police forensic division are gathering evidence, post-crime. Police services are trying to stop crime, so pre-crime and it's the same with people working in Cyber Security pre-computer crime v DF post-crime. I did a university course in "Digital Forensics and Cyber Analysis" it was good fun, but I'm not as good as I want to be.

3 years ago a Psychic told me that I was going to end up in Digital Forensics and I would get lots of recognition for my skills. Today I'm struggling to find the motivation to even pass the A+ exam 😣 procrastination a curse.. This sounds interesting though, I'm going to get it together

Strange you say nothing about the mental impact this job can have that some poeple do not realise. If you are dealing with law enforcement, you are dealing with criminals, and you WILL eventually see some really messed up stuff. I have a friend that did this for 8 months and quit. He had to see a psychologist and really left an impact on him. This job isnt all sunshine and rainbows.

I am looking into DFIR which I had found out about a week ago, or any similar investigator careers like the one you are explaining especially involving data and technology because I am interested helping from the technological side like wire fraud, cyber fraud, etc. I am looking at how to get started.

Hi Nicole. Thanks for your videos. I work in the Automotive industry, in cyber security for a few years now. I work mostly in developing security controls for microcontrollers. I never did any certifications until now. At least Automotive companies in Germany are not asking for certifications. Nevertheless, after watching your videos, I want to do a certification . My question is: If i do certifications in S+ ,digital forensics or GRC, do i still have to start my career from scratch in a new domain?

@@nicoleenesse held desk was amazing! More than I could have imagined and I learned a ton! Seriously a great way to start out building the computer concepts and understanding. Learning how to take care of people is priceless, EMPHASIZE that!!! Cannot stress the importance soft/people skills plays a role in tech jobs. Also learning how to set up and deploy devices. What made the job cooler was it was at the hard Rock casinos and what a great environment and company to get knowledge and experience from. I had to leave as it was very difficult for me to be at fulltime school/work, my grades suffered a bit and I have the fortune of not having to work being prior military using the voc rehab program for school. I admire all those who are having to do both. I cannot stress how important even 5 months of IT help desk boosted my knowledge and inevitably my career

This is my first time seeing your video. I enjoyed the content and the breakdown of DF and how to go about it. Nicole, thank you for the fantastic video. On the other hand, what do you think of EC-Council certifications ECIH, CHFI & DFE ? Are they globally renowned, and should they be pursued because other courses from SANS or GIAC are expensive?
